'Novus Planiglobii Terrestris' - Joan Blaeu, Gerard Valck 1695.
Novus Planiglobii Terrestris per Utrumque Polum Conspectus.
Prosat Amstelaedami Penes Gerardum Valck Calcographum in foro vulgo den Dam sub signo Canis Excubantis Cum Privilegio.
Copper engraved and handcoloured map with original colours.
The cartouche with the imprint bear marks of an earlier imprint by Blaeu, probably Joan Blaeu. Historians believe the plate to have been engraved in 1672, although some argue that the erased signature belongs to G. [Willem] Blaeu, deceased 1638.
The map was however never published by the Blaeu printing house, probably because of the devastating fire 1672 that destroyed much of the printing house and stock. The plate was later sold to Gerard Valck. After erasing the contents of the shield and the imprint in the cartouche, replacing it with his own name, Valck published the map as his own in 1695.
The map itself is composed of two hemispheres centred over the poles. The rest of the frame is filled with ornaments and pictorials. In the top left the sun surrounded with clouds, top center there is a armillary sphere / spherical astrolabe surrounded by stars, and in the top right corner the moon also surrounded with clouds.
Below the hemispheres in the right and left corner we find the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. The right corner depicts Adam clothed in a sunny garden of Eden surrounded by animals. The left corner depicts Adam and Eve, naked in a deserted landscape under heavy rain, probably after they have been expelled from the garden of Eden. In between those two scenes we find the cartouche and a empty shield.
Size: ca 54x40 cm, width x height.
Repairs to the center fold. Mounted in non-acid passepartout.
The map shows California as an island; the only Blaeu map to depict this cartographic myth. In the Pacific, the coastline of Australia is beginning take shape. In South America, the mythical Parime Lacus is shown on the Equator, and the southern tip of the continent is oddly truncated due to the projection.
